'Syrah' ready to sail

A group of us old gaffers gasbagging on the dock yesterday were struck dumb by the site of Syrah (skippered by Peter Cook) accelerating smoothly away down the river. Hans and Nell took her on an overnight shakedown trip during the week and report all went very well: 'goes like the clappers'. Looks like she will be a real asset for expeditions and general sailing around Franklin: for more about her see http://bit.ly/1uxPW0e .
